Haig finishes third in Jayco Herald Sun Tour

BENDIGO'S Jack Haig has finished third in the Jayco Herald-Sun Tour classic after Sunday's final stage at Arthurs Seat was abandoned.

Victoria Police ruled conditions were too dangerous for the finale, which included three climbs at Arthurs Seat, to be run.

The extreme weather conditions and bushfire risk were ruled to be too great for racing.

"Police have discussed this decision with the organisers and while it is an unfortunate decision, the focus of Victoria Police is community safety, taking into consideration the extreme weather conditions and fire risk," a Victoria Police spokesman said.
